The legendary Roger Stone is back.
I have just been informed that my personal Twitter account has been reinstated. Will talk about it today at 5PM EST at https://t.co/PSmp5LFDIe.

Why does it seem like Vijaya and the old Twitter regime neutered all the interesting voices, leaving the platform a sterile, sycophantic echo chamber?
Stone had been suspended from the platform under the previous regime after criticizing CNN anchor Don Lemon, calling him “dumber than dog sh*t,” among other names. Twitter said that his account had violated policies on abusive behavior.
…
He pointed out that he continues to be banned from Facebook as the result of “entirely false allegations” that he had been running hundreds of fake profiles.
…
Stone went on to explain that he had been “redeemed in the blood of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ” and as a result had changed his life in many ways.
“I’m certain when I go back and look there are things that I said that I will regret,” he continued, “but as President Richard Nixon said, ‘Never look backwards, always look forward,’ and that’s what I intend to do.”
Here’s Twitter’s explanation for suspending Roger in the first place.
His Tweets targeted individuals with harassment, indirect violent threats, and encouraged others to harass these individuals.
